DWIGHT COWARD WANTED KOBE AMNESTIED TO STAY WITH THE LAKERS

[Sccit]

Talks with various people close to the situation make it clear there were two prerequisites for Dwight Howard to
remain a Laker: fire Mike D'Antoni and amnesty, or at the very least muzzle, Kobe Bryant.

BY Ric Bucher

 As audacious as that might sound, it doesn't come without precedent in Lakers' history. When Kobe re-upped in 2004, it coincided with Shaq being shipped to Miami and Phil Jackson being let go. Of course, Kobe didn't have to pressure the team braintrust -- Mitch Kupchak and Jerry and Jim Buss -- to make those moves, since Dr. Buss, in particular, was done with both Shaq and Phil at the time. The Lakers apparently asked Dwight to be patient on both fronts for at least another season, telling him "hey, you're going to have to gut this out another year," a source said, although it sounds as if VP of basketball ops Jim Buss isn't ready to abandon Kobe anytime soon. "Dwight didn't want to play with Kobe for 2-3 more years," Buss said. "I'm going to stand behind Kobe because of his history with the franchise." It would seem, then, with all that happened, the Lakers had the wherewithal to keep Howard if they had desired; they simply found the price too high.

Either way, both would be predicted to miss the playoffs. At best Kobe's team would be the eighth seed.

Might as well have stuck with the youth & the post dominance & hope a top pick from next year's draft is the answer.

The way it's going, Lakers won't be competitive without an all-star going to LA in the next two years & then after that, unless three all-stars team up, the Lakers won't make the playoffs for decades.

i didn't see him saying anything about the Celtics

[Sccit]

thats cuz the celtics are irrelevant, once again, now that the only thing that made 'em relevant in the last 25 years is gone....garnett, allen, + pierce. it was a nice 5 year run, but back to where yall belong... the bottom

SIXERS GOIN PLACES

Two picks next year in the deepest draft since '03, Nerlens was the projected first overall pick of this draft & has potential to be a monster defensively & on the glass & MCW has tremendous upside.

Mix that with the young talent in place in Philly & they'll be on the right track.

If it wasn't for LA being a "hot spot" for all-stars to go to after the Kobe era ends, the Lakers would be in the basement of the West for literally a decade, unless you landed Wiggins or someone of that nature.

"if" dont count

yall lost ur coach and 2 top players this year....lol

nerlens hasn't even proven he's an all-star yet, let alone a franchise player.....sixers bout 2 be a bottom feeder for some time. at least u got the heat, tho.

[Hack Wilson - real]

lakers are gonna be a bottom feeder too because they didn't amnesty Kobe



at least ya'll got rid of that crackhead Lamar Slowdom though

case closed

lol wit a majority of them comin in the 60s


but to be technical, we have 17 titles too....one in the nbl, before the franchise moved to the baa. and as u should know, the nba was formed with the merging of teams from the nbl and baa......if ur guna count baa titles, nbl titles should count too.


furthermore, 5 titles in the 80s, 5 titles in the 00's......celtics dont even have half that in the same span
